On Thursday we discovered a sunny day (our first in four days) for traveling northward to Wilmington, NC. We took I-94 and with little traffic most of the way, found ourselves at our destination by mid-afternoon. It was fun to return to this lovely city. Here the streets, as in Savannah, have lots of trees that seem to make an arch over the road and are draped with lovely Spanish Moss. Of course, the moss is a parasite and in time can kill its host tree. But the effect is quite beautiful. We did not see the many squares that seem to set Savannah apart as one of the most lovely cities spared by the civil war and restored to that time period.
We turned on our GPS system, and it took us to Tom and Ashley's home. We quickly learned that this was their old address and with a bit of correction soon found their current apartment. We finally saw our grand kids and their first-born son Harper. They are so happy in their current location and were proud t
o give us the grand tour. Harper was a delight as he is trying at seven months to talk and walk. He has rolling down and is working on the rest.
It is a joy and a blessing to be grandparents and to welcome our first great-grandchild into our growing family. After much visiting we went
out to a brew pub located downtown not far from the Cape Fear River. It was a noisy place, but the food was good and the beer excellent. Then we parted for the night since Ashley has to work tomorrow. Tom babysits during the day and works some nights and weekends. They have it all worked out, and he will begin to attend college classes in January to finish his degree. A busy time for them.
In the afternoon we drove downtown to the Cape Fear River walk and enjoyed the waterfront area and bordering shops. We found an oyster bar for a quick lunch and then more sightseeing before returning to the motel. We would meet the grand kids in the early evening. Happy travels.
